If you’re goals are around health and weight loss then just hitting the treadmill or swimming a few laps probably isn’t the best use of your time.

Including some weight training is almost always recommend. Benefits are increased strength (duh), increased bone and joint strength, improved blood sugar management (I bet that’s a new one for you), improved body image, reduced chance of injury, improved body composition and increased chance of looking like the most jacked Dad in the playground (let’s be honest this is the big one).

However the thought of spending an hour in the weights room surrounded by smooth legged instagram boys isn’t always appealing.

So what are the options? Using your own body weight is a great start with things like lunges, squats and press ups.

Once you’ve progressed a little, loading them movements up with dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, sandbags or whatever you have is next.

We use a wide array of different loading options at our locations to help get guys as strong, lean and fit as possible without a gym selfie in sight.

Finally lifting a tractor tyre not only makes you strong, it also gives you a bad ass profile picture 😉 ... See MoreSee Less

Here’s one of the drills we use on our live programmes to build aerobic fitness in double quick time.

They’re called Hennie Mullers after a legendary South African rugby player with prodigious fitness who would include these in his training.

- Start on the corner of a rugby/football/hockey pitch- Run to the diagonal corner at around 90% of your maximum sprint pace- Walk down the long side of the pitch to recover- Run to the other diagonal corner at 90% sprint pace- Walk down the other side of the pitch back to the start - That’s 1 complete rep, perform 2-3 continuously, that’s one set. Rest for 2-3 minutes and repeat for the desired number of total sets.

A progression is to reduce your rest by walking along the short side of the pitch instead.

Of course make sure you’re thoroughly warmed up before any high speed running.
